You'd have to setup Internet sharing on your desktop and use your laptop as the client to the desktop.
And you have to give the new account on your laptop admin-rights, if you want to use that account.
You could tinker with your PC and give it the same domain/workgroup etc. as at your work. Have never tried that though.
